2012 New Ford Explorer

[3ple4]

That would be normal as mine is also sa middle mark as also informed by the service guys ng Global. I guess it's standard for Ford as my escape is also at the middle mark.

Yup same here, mine is slightly reaching the middle mark of the temp gauge. Same thing with our other vehicles.

*SPYNZ: ano yung in-channel vent? Window deflectors?

[spynz]

3ple4 - Yup window deflector. Sayang di magamit. Dahil pag tumama na ang window deflector kusang bumaba ang window.

Sayang naman. Anong brand yan? Pwede ka bumili sa Ford Global (sa kanila ako nagtanong) pero one month waiting kasi order pa ng FGP sa U.S. Huli ako nagtanong, 6,200 presyo binigay na presyo sa akin.

Just saw a 2013 Explorer a while ago. Still has the same wheels, I just happen to spot the BLIS and xenon head lamps.

I've been looking for a good side step / running board. Nahihirapan sumakay and bumababa wife ko especially when she's carrying the baby. I've looked at owens product, dee zee, egr, etc...so far, maganda ang egr kasi parang integrated design siya, which actually means removing the front splash guard:

Store

Kaya lang maganda din ang price. To ship from US will cost 90% of the unit. grabe....any suggested alternatives?

any update kung magkano shipping via johnnya air? Any other takers?
Another option is via bongo.com

[dragonexplorer]

The update from Johnny Air Cargo is this:

Rate: - $ 5.99 per pound for non electronic items (chargeable weight = actual weight or volume weight whichever is greater)
(minimum chargeable weight of 2 lbs., $1,000.00 value & above is subject to 5% additional clearing cost based on invoice
declaration, negotiable)
- $ 6.50 per pound for electronic items

Additional: - $ 5.00 Handling fee for pick up only (JAC-Headoffice Aguirre, Makati or JAC-Megamall)
or $10 Handling fee (Delivery w/in Metro Manila only)
- $ 50.00/unit (additional clearing cost for a laptop & two way radio)
- $ 25.00/unit - additional clearing cost for an Ipad or Samsung Galaxy or Blackberry playbook or other Tablet PCs
- $ 15.00/unit - additional clearing cost for Mobile phones and e-book readers (ie. kindle or Palm pilots)
- Inland freight (if any)
- 12% Vat

So, from the weight of the side steps, mas mahal pa ang shipping cost kesa actual product. They have a sea freight option of $150 plus VAT and receiving charges. Kaya lang the side steps I'm looking at come in two separate boxes and Johnny Air doesn't consolidate.

I will wait at baka bumaba pa presyo ng mga side steps na ito. By the way, balak ko palitan ng K&N drop in filter sa Ex ko. The code is 33-2395. Who knows where to get the best deal in Metro Manila area? Ok ba sa speedlab?

Those want a white Explorer V6, Ford EDSA has one. 3% DI. Babayaran ang VKool tint, extended warranty, in-house insurance at LTO reg. Paunahan ito. Hanapin niyo si Rona Marquez if you want to buy it na.

Bakit hindi nila binigay iyang unit sa mga nakapila sa dealership nila?

Akala ko pang Ford Global & Ford Manila lang ang VKool since they're all under Autuhub. I guess kahit sa kalaban na dealership kailangan nila mag-tie up para ma-promote ang VKool Hindi ko gusto yung location ng HQ nila sa Otis Manila sa Paco, walang consumer traffic, ang meron traffic ay mga trailer truck sa hapon

*dragonexplorer: but with all the charges that you mentioned, do you think cheaper pa rin sa Johnny Air rather than directly ordering from the US supplier? Kasi meron pang shipping costs plus yung taxes na babayaran mo dito. I think pinaka-ok ay kung may relative ka doon tapos ipadala sa balikayan box

EDIT: Ford Global City pala hindi Ford EDSA.

Stupid question lang - kasya ba sa balikbayan box?

2013 Ford Explorer Sport video with details from Chief Engineer Bill Gubing

[snoid_zero]

a lot of changes from the current model...
just so it can handle the power of the 3.5L EcoBoost V6...

[dragonexplorer]

Stupid question lang - kasya ba sa balikbayan box?

* 3ple4: Na-consider ko na rin yun. Kaya lang nakakahiya kasi sa uncle ko. I already ordered a baby stroller had it shipped sa kanya tapos siya na tumawag para sa pick up ng ATLAS shipping. $100 to ship via sea from ATLAS.

* boracay7777: Hindi kasya sa balikbayan box. Pero some balikbayan service couriers accept odd size boxes. Ang dimensions nito, for example, ay 72"L x 6"W x 6"H. Johnny Air will ship it via seafreight ng $150.

Another question: Magkano ang extended warranty?

[dragonexplorer]

2013 Ford Explorer SPORT is gonna be awesome! Performance all the way. Sadly, had to go with the Limited version since I'm already a family man. Comfort ride and safety are non-negotiable features in choosing the Ex Limited.

Got my white Explorer Limited today from Ford Libis. Will post pics when i can take shots in the daytime.

Its feels kinda lazy though compared to the cx9. Kick down isnt so good. And the manual mode toggle is wierd and doesnt work on D mode....only in M mode. Other than that its really nice. Havent had a chance to try the auto park feature yet.

At least the MyFord Touch seems responsive though i have to check if its the latest 3.2.2 version. I saw a 2012 model (grey) being reflashed with the new firmware in Ford Libis. 6 hours daw the service assistant mentioned and the car has to be running!

Congrats bro with your new toy & welcome to the club of explo owners here. So, what was the various deal that SA manage to get from you just to get it released?

Gaano kaya katagal seafreight? By the way, do you have link of site where product is sold? Thx

Mahal pala kahit seafreight. Mukhang mas makakamura pa rin ako if I order straight from FGP since P6,200 lang daw for the window visors. Eh yung sa EGR it's already $99 so plus shipping costs pa.

*EQAddict: Congrats on your Explo. Welcome to the club. 6 hours naka-on yung engine for the MFT upgrade Ilan kaya ang maco-consume na gasolina? Automatic din yung pag fold ng 2nd row? Yung sa amin manual lang.

The sea freight should take between 45 and 60 days. Anong product hanap mo? Side steps? Check autoanything.com, autoaccessoriesgarage.com or amazon.

[dragonexplorer]

*boracay7777: mag 45-60 days ang sea freight. Check out autoanything.com, autoaccessriesgarage.com or amazon.com.

*eqaddict: congrats bro! Anong built date ng unit mo? Mine is May 2012. I checked online and my version is still 3.02. That means kailangan ma update unit ok. Bakit kaya wala pang tawau ang dealer ok.....hmmmm....

[dragonexplorer]

*boracay7777: mga 45-60 days ang sea freight. Ung tinutukoy ko na Dee Zee NXC side steps ay nakita ko sa autoanything.com. you can also check amazon.com pero mahal doon kasi wala pang brackets na kasama. try mo din autoaccessoriesgarage.com.

*3ple4: oo nga kaya it depends kung anong bibilhin at papa ship from the US. Hindi ko majustify kapag mas mahal pa ang shipping cost kesa sa actual product.

*EQaddict: CONGRATS and welcome! Anong built date ng unit mo? Mine is 05/12. I checked online and my MFT Sync version is 3.0.2. You can download the latest update na 3.2.2 sa website. As the website says, it should only take 60 minutes to install on your explorer while the unit is turned on...grabe...ubos ang pera sa gasolina. I don't think 6 hours dapat or baka they are updating from the first version of MFT Sync to the latest kaya ganon.
